GDPR does a beautiful thing bu limiting your ability to profile people without telling them exactly how you algorythm them and ability to opt out. Perhaps enough people on Facebook will be creeped out when they find out whats under their Faceook hood.
- MarkMc 9y agoThe problem is that Facebook have complete control over the user experience of opting out: To opt in just click 'Agree and Continue'. You won't ever hear from Facebook about this issue again. To opt out click the much less visible 'Other Options' link, then scroll to the bottom of the page and expand each section and untick each box, then click 'Yes' when Facebook asks if you are sure, given that it will cause these problems for you. Then click 'Continue'. Now every 3 months Facebook will ask if you still want to opt out. Plus Facebook can frame the opt-out option in the most unattractive light. When I try to disable 'ads personalisation' in Google it tells me 'You'll no longer be able to block or mute some ads'. Who wants to give up the ability to block ads?
- jononor 8y agoI suspect, and hope, that the screen FB implemented is seen as in violation of GDPR. Especially hiding the 'no' options on a second page.
